Aceh 'Set For Midyear Elections'

There will be elections held in Aceh in May or June 2006.

It is part of a peace deal agreed with separatist rebels. The deal with the rebels from the Free Aceh Movement [GAM] is aimed at ending 26 years of bitter conflict. More than 15,000 people lost their lives.

The peace deal finally came together following the tsunami a year ago, which devastated large parts of the province. More than 120,000 Acehnese were killed in the disaster.

The Excellence of Sunnah Solāt In the Name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful; All the praise and Thanks is due...
